The exhibition took place in the prestigious Tian Qu Yuan garden in Beijing on November 15th and 16th. Featuring exceptional models which have made their mark among the L.U.C collection through the years, the exhibition was a tribute to Chopard’s expertise in creating distinctive unique timepieces mingling art and time. “L.U.C – l’Art d’une Manufacture” is a journey through the origins of Chopard Fine Watchmaking creations.

We saw the same exhibition in London in 2016 as reported HERE on AlphaLuxe.

The “L.U.C – l’Art d’une Manufacture” exhibition displayed both the excellence of fine workmanship and sophisticated mechanics. Chopard dedicated a special part of the exhibition to the ultimate art of Urushi – a time-honoured pictorial art. Each year Chopard is dedicating a new exclusive series of its L.U.C XP to the Chinese Zodiac.
